Hamilton, as usual, is trying desperately to make a bearish case out of an obviously bullish indicator (being primarily, a short-seller, I wish he were right, but I don't think he is). I think the high P/C ratio is much more straightforward and easy to explain. People are very bullish on the market, but very worried, at least for the summer, about terrorism. W/o terrorism, the market should soar. If something really bad does occur, though, the drop may be so drastic that puts will actually come to the rescue...
Hard work often pays off over time,
but laziness always pays off right now.
